Sorry read your responses in the wrong order (it's late lol). Yes definitely agree about informing people - there should be a channel for this and it seems shady to get rewarded for announcements.

I said on another of Dan's posts that he and the team need to separate their personal accounts from the official account or accounts that are used to inform people of things.

This is not just for financial reasons but to eliminate the obvious signs of conflict of interest. Steemit itself is made up of more than one person (or so I thought) - the current way of doing things makes it look like Dan's personal toy.

That does not give the right impression for a large multinational company (or at least a future one).

I think with hindsight @berniesanders may have been right on that post - the confusion for many of us arose because we sometimes have a hard time telling if something is a blog post or an official announcement.

Anyway sorry I think I'm rambling now because I'm tired. Time for bed I think.

Great discussion though.

Look forward to your post on this matter as I think it needs to be addressed and I would like to comment too.
